The Jamaican international, on loan from Bolton, dragged the Latics back level after 19 minutes with his first league goal and Sheridan's side made the extra man count again in the 34th minute when Ernie Cooksey bagged his fifth goal of the season.

Grimsby levelled through top scorer Michael Boulding 12 minutes after the break but Scott Vernon restored Oldham's lead in the 73rd minute, just three minutes after coming off the bench.

Jevons, though, punished another defensive slip for a second equaliser.

It was tough on Oldham who were denied five times by the woodwork. Now they will be looking to atone at home to Hartlepool tomorrow (Sunday).
